I am trying to boot from CD, using a ramdisk, Preboot.dmg. Inside, I
have an Extra folder containing DSDT.aml, Extensions, mach_kernel,
and SMBios.plist. In com.apple.boot.plist, I have specified that the
kernel be read from rd(0,0)/Extra/mach_kernel, the DSDT be read from
rd(0,0)/Extra/DSDT.aml, and the SMBios be read from
rd(0,0)/Extra/SMBios.plist. When I try booting in verbose mode, I
see that mach_kernel is loaded successfully but DSDT.aml and
SMBios.plist are not loaded.
